Colorado Town to Keep Christmas Pagan

[ElfBot]

A frustrated city council heard all the arguments for religious displays during the holiday season and decided they were better off without any of them.

This is the town that was just voted as the best place to live in America? My brain is tired from trying to comprehend all of this nonsense.

I agree that everyone should be recognized for who they are. But you cant always be politically correct. Besides - Hanukkah is celebrated within days of Christmas. But they do not call it Hanukkah or Kwanza they call it Christmas season. But it also depends on what faith or ideology you have as well. But it is generally understood that the week of December 25 is Christmas.

No way, Jose...you're our resident pagan expert, Elfworks. So tell me, at what point did the pagans put up a Christmas tree and say it wasn't sacred or a religious symbol?
